Coordinator

Oxford Friends of the Earth is looking for a new Coordinator. We are a voluntary group with 1800+ supporters and focus on climate action, nature and climate solutions, clean rivers, air pollution, and transport.  We run events, lobby MPs and councillors, produce reports and we have strong partnerships across Oxfordshire and with national bodies. We have existed since the 1970s and meet as a group monthly in central Oxford.  We are part of the Friends of the Earth global network, working to protect and improve our environment locally and nationally.

Our current Coordinator is taking a break: we’d like to find someone who can commit to offering a few hours most weeks and attending our monthly meetings.

This involves:

·       Setting up meetings and managing our monthly mailing

·       Working with our Campaigns Officer to develop our campaigns

·       Working with our social media officer to develop our engagement

·       Working with other volunteers on specific campaigns / projects

·       Exploring opportunities for us to gain support

·       Maintaining our supporter database and being a point of contact for people interested to know more about the group

·       Managing and developing our website

·       Supporting event planning and management

The post would suit anyone seeking to develop their organisational skills for a career in voluntary and environmental sectors.  We can offer on-the-job and formal training and support for people wishing to get involved, and can pay travel and related expenses.
